A quick bit of gnocchi...

Just to get us back into the garden more quickly...

Drop 1 packet Sainsbury's fresh gnocchi into boiling water for a couple of minutes, and drain. Warm 1tsp olive oil and add 1 punnet cherry tomatoes, halved. Fry until they begin to come apart. Meanwhile, crush 25g fresh basil in a pestle and mortar with 1 handful pine kernels and 1tsp salt. To the pan add 1tsp balsamic vinegar, 1dsstp single cream, and then tip in the rustic pesto (crushed basil). Add the gnocchi and heat through; serve with grated parmesan.

You're back!

This was what you created from the store cupboard, was it? Looks pretty good to me. You have your father's creative cook gene.

Yum Yum Anna - good to see my fav online cookery writer back at the hob.

Thanks for popping by - the reading sounds onerous - I'd be so worried about it! Well done you for taking it in your stride. Believe me, the new JH would not be relaxing; she is very literary now, the voice is not the same rollicking story that Chocolat was.
